What if......

What if SVO had built a XR7 cougar?

I've lost my mind but here is the plan for the cougar. I'm going to build it into my impression of a SVO XR7.

87/88 T-bird turbo hood.
T-bird intercooler in stock location.
LA3 big vam.
Ranger roller.
255 pump.
T3.
SVO strut bar.
3inch exhaust split to dual's with 's and stock appearing tailpipe's to keep the noise down.
subframe's
SVO 5 lug brake's with adjustable proportioning valve.
5spd swap, direct pull bellhousing, hurst shifter SVO style shift  and boot.
Lincoln 16inch 5 lug mesh wheel's.

I own a decal business/cutter so I'll make some custom XR7/Turbocharged/intercooled deck lid decal's.

What ya think?

Any of you photoshop guy's want to add a 87/88 turbo hood and mesh wheel's to a pic of the car?

With the same mod's on the stock T-3 my SVO hit the dyno with 238/270. That ought to make the XR7 a fun daily driver highway cruiser.

I was thinking the T-bird intercooler and hood for two reason's.
1) Cost. I already have the intercooler and hood's are cheap.
2) I want to keep the A/C functional.

If I get that far and have the cash I will build another custom set up like I did for the SVO.

Id run the SVO wheels on it if you could get a nice set.
It's Gumby's fault.

hmm. SVO wheel's.

I have a decent pair laying around that I could try on it. I'm not sure if the backspacing will work or not.

I also have a set of Saleen/Ronal R9 5spoke 5 lug wheel's in black.
